Could you imagine throwing a holiday dinner party and not preparing for it? I’ll give you a scenario. It’s December 24th. There’s a knock on the door. Your family arrives all dressed up for a party and you are lying on the sofa watching Scandal in your sweats. You offer them a half bottle of […]

I took a class at Barry’s Bootcamp today. How to describe? One hour of non-stop huffing, puffing, panting and sweating. Three letters just keep coming to mind: O-M-G. I have never pushed that hard in my life. If you are not familiar with this particular brand of New York style fitness torture exhilaration, perhaps you […]

How do I even begin to figure out my career dream? I remember feeling stuck, sad and even a little annoyed when I was tasked by my coach with figuring out what I cared about.In fact, I realize now, with hindsight, that I actually expected my coach to figure out my career dream for me. […]

Never go to bed angry. In Handel Group®, we refer to this kind of a statement as a Personal Law (and this example was certainly one of mine). WHAT’S A PERSONAL LAW? Personal Laws are rules that we live by which dictate how we feel we must behave and act in certain situations. We usually […]

WHAT DREAM ARE YOU SECRETLY GIVING UP ON RIGHT NOW? I bet there is one. Don’t worry, you are not alone. We all do it and half the time we don’t even realize we’re quitting on a dream. How do I know? Because a few months ago, I almost gave up on a dream that […]

Let me take you through my latest trial/tribulation. They are always good for a lesson. I am about 26 weeks pregnant with my third kid. Surprise, for those of you don’t know! I’m pretty happy about it, but after 10 years full on in the work force as an executive for Handel it’s hard to […]

Money is one of the most important and valuable currencies of your life. I say “one of” because I put two others before it: 1) Time: THE currency of your life. This is literally ALL you have to work with when it comes to designing a life you love, that makes the impact you want […]

I went on one of my favorite vacations two summers ago: my mom, my dad, my step-mom, and my in-laws all shared a house with me, my husband and my daughters. It doesn’t even matter that we went somewhere fun, where we watched sunsets from a boat and shared meals that we took turns preparing […]

It’s time for a little science refresher. Ready? Ok, good. Remember what a scientific theory is? It’s alright if you don’t. This is the refresher part. A theory is an idea or set of facts that intends to explain some aspect of our reality. They are formed by observing or experiencing something and then drawing […]

(*Duh, of course this goes for all kinds of couples, not just husbands and wives.) You’re talking to a former once or a twice a month-er. I was one of those women who “put out” a bit more in the dating phase, but even then, sex was treated as currency to be carefully guarded and […]

Fall is here! The leaves are turning, the weather is getting cooler and you can really feel a change in the air.  It’s also the time of year when you start to confront what you have not yet accomplished this year. Have you achieved the dreams/goals that you set for yourself back in January? If […]

Here’s a secret: I used to think that budgeting was just for people without money. Really. I thought that if you paid attention to how much money you were spending and where, that was a sure sign that you did NOT have enough and something was wrong with you. After Handel coaching, that way of […]
